Player #146: John F. Kerr. Second baseman for the Washington Senators in 1932-1934. 388 hits and 6 home runs in 8 MLB seasons. He debuted with the Detroit Tigers in 1923. In 1931, for the Chicago White Sox he posted a .324 OBP with 50 RBIs in 490 plate appearances.
After the 1931 season, Kerr was traded to the Senators with outfielder Carl Reynolds in exchange for pitchers Bump Hadley and Sad Sam Jones, as well as infielder Jackie Hayes, who would replace him as the starting second baseman. He spent the next three seasons on the Senators' bench behind second baseman Buddy Myer and future Hall of Fame shortstop Joe Cronin. During his tenure in Washington, he never played more than 51 games. He was on the Senators roster in 1933 when they lost in the World Series to the New York Giants. Kerr's sole appearance came in the finale (Game 5) when he pinch ran for centerfielder Fred Schulte with 2 out in the bottom of the 10th inning. In 1935, he served as a coach for the Senators, but in 1936 he became a player-manager in the Boston Red Sox organization.
